Chapter 361 I'm here on imperial orders to conquer you

Although she had quite a bit of affection for Jiang Jing, and deep down had long been attracted by his mysterious charm and powerful abilities, the thin veil between them had not yet been completely pierced.

Jiang Jing's sudden and bold action made her heart pound wildly, and caught off guard, even her voice carried a tremor.

She glared fiercely at Jiang Jing, but the look in her eyes was less of anger and more of a coquettish reproach.

To prevent herself from falling, she had no choice but to wrap her arms tighter around his neck, blushing as she spat, "Don't think that doing this... doing this will have any effect!"

"I... I'm not some innocent, easily fooled little girl like Li Xue. Sweet talk and surprise attacks like this don't work on me!"

Seeing her adorable appearance—clearly mortified and embarrassed yet forcing herself to stay calm and putting on a "I'm very experienced" facade—Jiang Jing couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The arm around her waist tightened, pulling her closer to him.

"I didn't say anything, CEO Jiang." Jiang Jing smiled, blinking innocently, "Are you overthinking this yourself?"

"You!" Jiang Yan was choked with anger. Caught between laughter and tears at his shameless act of shifting the blame, she angrily tapped his shoulder with her hand.

"Then what is this action? In broad daylight, in the office... holding, holding your subordinate? Is this appropriate?"

Jiang Jing restrained his laughter slightly, looking down at the flushed cheeks and bright eyes of the beauty in his arms. His tone was playful, yet carried a hint of seriousness: "Me? I'm acting on orders."

"Orders? Whose orders?" Jiang Yan was stunned.

"Acting on the wishes of Li Xue and Li Ruonan," Jiang Jing said with a straight face. "They sent me here... to conquer you."

"Wh—what?!" These words exploded in Jiang Yan's ears like a thunderbolt.

Acting on the wishes of Li Xue and Li Ruonan?

To conquer her?

What... what kind of situation is this?!

What girlfriend would let their boyfriend go out and flirt around, especially to "conquer" her?

This is just too absurd!

Jiang Yan's face turned so red it was almost dripping blood, and even her neck was stained pink. Flustered and embarrassed, she stammered:

"Y—you're talking nonsense! What acting on their wishes... w—who would ever let their boyfriend do something like this!"

"Y—you could at least come up with a decent excuse!"

Seeing her panic-stricken appearance, completely unlike her usual calm CEO demeanor, Jiang Jing found it extremely amusing.

He nodded and went along with her words: "Exactly, I thought the same thing at the time. It's too outrageous, right?"

He changed his tone, his eyes becoming gentle and focused as he looked into Jiang Yan's eyes: "However, what they said afterward, I think it makes a lot of sense."

"They said I'm always looking outside, bringing this girl back or that girl home, while ignoring the beautiful Jiang Yan right by my side—who has been silently contributing, working hard to support the entire company for me, and is the one who most deserves care and comfort."

He reached out and gently brushed a stray lock of hair from Jiang Yan's forehead, his voice low: "I think they were absolutely right. So, didn't I rush over here to properly comfort our hard-working CEO Jiang?"

Listening to his half-truthful, half-teasing words, which also carried obvious concern, Jiang Yan's heart beat even faster.

An indescribable sweetness and shyness welled up in her heart.

She gave a coquettish huff and turned her burning cheeks slightly away, not daring to meet his eyes. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz: "Hmph... who comforts someone like this... you're just being a hooligan..."

Jiang Jing laughed heartily, his palm, which was wrapped around Jiang Yan's slender waist, clearly feeling the supple waistline beneath her professional skirt.

His gaze involuntarily drifted downward, landing on those long, straight, beautiful legs wrapped in transparent silk stockings, as well as her exquisite black high heels.

CEO uniform temptation...

Jiang Jing sighed inwardly, really wanting to feel the texture of those beautiful legs.

Jiang Yan seemed to sense the heat in his gaze, and her stocking-clad legs shifted slightly and unnaturally together.

Blushing, she spat out softly: "Y—why do you always look at my legs... isn't my face pretty?"

As soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted them; it sounded like she was acting coy and complaining.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jing immediately moved his gaze back to her face, meeting her eyes filled with shyness and a hint of anticipation, and laughed loudly:

"Of course it's pretty! Our CEO Jiang's face is beautiful enough to topple cities; I could look at it forever and never get enough! It's just..."

He deliberately dragged out the tone, his gaze once again ambiguously sweeping over her entire body.

"Your professional attire is just too charming, too alluring, that I can't help but let my gaze linger."

Jiang Yan pouted. Even though she knew this guy was full of flowery words meant to please girls, hearing such blunt praise still made her heart feel as sweet as honey.

Especially hearing the word "alluring" from his mouth made her whole body go a bit weak.

The two of them stayed like that in the CEO chair for a long time, mostly with Jiang Jing saying all sorts of cheesy or playful love words, occasionally lowering his head to whisper in her ear, making her blush and her heart race, unable to stop her coquettish reproaches.

Jiang Yan also gradually relaxed from her initial nervousness and shyness, enjoying this rare intimate time. Occasionally, she would retort, but she was always defeated by Jiang Jing's even more shameless teasing.

"You, all you know is how to say these sweet things to coax me..." Jiang Yan tilted her head slightly, feeling the warmth from Jiang Jing's fingertips, her tone carrying a hint of coquetry she didn't even realize.

"How can you call it coaxing?" Jiang Jing said with a straight face, though his eyes held a mischievous smile. "I call this heartfelt praise."

"For example, right now, I think you look especially charming when you're working, CEO Jiang, especially... here," his gaze pointedly swept over her neckline, which was even more alluring because she was leaning forward slightly, "the scenery is unmatched."

"You're dead!" Jiang Yan's cheeks exploded in red, and she subconsciously covered her chest with her hand, hitting him in embarrassment and anger.

"This is the office! Can you be serious!"

"Alright, alright, serious, serious." Jiang Jing raised his hands in compliance, but his face still wore that rogue smile, clearly not taking the word "serious" to heart.

Just as the atmosphere grew increasingly amorous and Jiang Jing's hand started to get restless, quietly sliding toward Jiang Yan's long legs—

"Knock, knock, knock!"

A clear knocking sound poured down like cold water, instantly shattering the heating ambiguity in the room.
